MEDIAScaler®

Massive data growth continues to pose significant data management challenges for modern media workflows. Whether it is dramatically accelerating resolution quality to 4K or 8K, rolling IMF (Interoperable Master Format) into content creation workflow, boosting camera counts, increasing frame rates and new format proliferation, the performance and efficiency of every workflow has been pushed to the max—from ingest all the way to archive.

MEDIAScaler: THE SOLUTION FOR END-TO-END MEDIA WORKFLOWS

To overcome never-ending data growth, the MEDIAScaler™ High Performance Converged Media Storage Platform delivers a best-in-class solution that allows you to manage end-to-end media workflows within a single platform—across ingest, editing, transcoding, distributing, collaborating and archiving. Built from the ground-up, MEDIAScaler is simple to install, configure and manage and delivers an all-in-one turnkey solution that overcomes the scale, performance and cost hurdles associated with traditional solutions.

MEDIAScaler delivers high performance and massive scalability necessary for core workflows, scaling to 100s of Petabytes of capacity and 100s of GB/s of performance with simple and cost effective automated tiering to private and hybrid Cloud, Active Archive and tape. With configurations starting at under 100TB, MEDIAScaler scales up or out and provides a wide range of simple and straightforward connectivity options to offer the most powerful media storage platform in the industry.

SEAMLESS END-TO END DATA MANAGEMENT

For simple access, MEDIAScaler delivers a range of connectivity options including 10/40/100 Gb/E, Fibre Channel, InﬁniBand and support for protocols such as NFS, CIFS, Amazon S3 and OpenStack SWIFT.
